Miss Morris is presenting a one-act dramatic play called “The Yellow Peril.” The story is similar to a part of “The Typhoon.” It has to do with the capture in the United States of a Japanese spy and Miss Morris portrays the character of a secret service agent. The play has many novel effects, including the dictagraph [sic], a stereopticon and several views of motion pictures. The theme is immense, grips one from the start, keeps them guessing how it will end, and, when the climax arrives, a rousing round is the result. If money is not the consideration, Miss Morris should not spar for time. Full stage twenty-five.
